Is OpenRecall secure as well? One of my biggest problems with MS recall is that it stores all your personal info in plain text.

Unfortunately pretty much everything has Pluton these days, including all non-Dell/non-Lenovo Ryzen 6000+ or Intel 13th? Gen laptops and all Copilot+ PCs. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pluton was required to run Windows 12.
I make sure my own web game can run smoothly on crappy hardware. It runs well on my gaming laptop downclocked to 400MHz with a 4x slowdown set by Chrome. It also loads in a couple seconds with a typical crappy Internet connection of 200kbps and >10% packet loss. However, it doesn’t run smoothly on my Snapdragon 425 phone or my old Core 2 Duo laptop. Is this my game or just browser overhead?
So what even is the purpose of Pluton if it’s useless for its main use case?
But my main barrier to using Adobe products is reducing my laptop battery life by an hour because of its many background bloat processes, not the price (as I am currently a student). So much for “hook 'em while they’re young.”
I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.
The NPUs are good, provided that they can be used the same way dedicated GPUs are used: By 3rd party applications to accelerate certain intensive tasks when you demand them.
However, shoehorning AI into the OS itself definitely screams buzzwords. AI and OS’s are polar opposites: You want an OS to be fast, predictable, and reliable. AI is currently slow, extremely unpredictable, and hallucinatory (i.e. unreliable).
I’m curious, what would happen if I, as a creator, had been contacted by a sponsor and then if the sponsor was shady, decided to not only say no to the contract, but also rag on them in the video where the sponsor would have been shilled?
At least consider it. It will make shady sponsors less valuable and more genuine sponsors more valuable.
They absolutely deserve to be blasted in the comments for a bad sponsor. It will make people reconsider their viewing decisions. If the video itself also wasn’t great, don’t be afraid to give it a big fat dislike, especially if you have the return YouTube dislike extension.
Additionally, if there are too many ads and sponsors, make your voice heard in the comments, and the creator might be sympathetic. I certainly am when I’m on the receiving end of a comment like that on my channel.
Surprised no one has mentioned System76 yet. They’re expensive but quality laptops, with repairability as a priority.
From my experience, while LXQt uses ~20-25% less RAM than XFCE, it runs way faster and uses less CPU than XFCE.
Good creators should be paid for their work, hence why I subscribe to Nebula and watch YT with ads (although there are so many I’ll be pushed back to Nebula, and I won’t get YT premium on principle).
Curiosity stream still exists?
Realistic: Getting a faster motorcycle and going on longer touring rides and track days with it. I currently have a Suzuki GZ250 but it struggles on the highway, and the acceleration of even a “middleweight” bike like the Trident 660 is exhilarating.
Unrealistic: Getting a girlfriend…
This PC optimizer app screams of the early adware PC optimizer apps.
Unfortunately, it’s Microsoft to blame for it being slow in the first place.
I recently took a class on ARM assembly, and yet I don’t even know half of these x86 instructions.
Reminder that because the Windows 11 taskbar is slower and buggier than the Windows 10 taskbar, it uses much more power due to the extra CPU cycles.
It’s hosted on GitHub, but I really want to self host one day.
What other features are missing? I’m still pretty much a beginner so it can be very tricky to implement things.
I’ve had game and software ideas swirling around in my brain, but for the longest time I couldn’t program them. But now, I have enough knowledge to build parts of my grand deckbuilding game idea: An arcade style deckbuilding game with strong meta-progression. It’s playable at superspruce.org.
As for some other ideas, including the simple idea of a weighted shuffle music playlist where each song has its own weight, they are still currently out of reach, mostly due to trying to access the filesystem and whatnot. Better than a month ago, where within the last month I found out how to make the browser play music
It boils down to two broad categories for me:
